There was a time when it was not important to have an SSL certificate – it was the wild west days of the internet. But when spammers and unscrupulous people started taking advantage of people online by stealing ID’s, credit card numbers and personal information, it became more and more important to “secure” sites with an SSL certificate and most people will not continue to a site that is not secure (which may keep you from getting visitors…or business).
Some hosting platforms have started providing SSL certificates at no additional charge – and I commend them for that, but there are still many hosting providers that do not -- or they charge you either monthly or yearly for an SSL certificate and the cost can range from $9.99/month through Network Solutions to yearly fees ranging from $40 - $120 or more!
